Haiku Contest Runner-Up Contest

You know, some of those Haiku were so darn good I can't let them go unappreciated. So, while the grand prize of the tee-shirt goes to Nathan (the gods of randomness have spoken!), the runner-up prize shall go to the author of the best Haiku. I bet you didn't know there WAS a runner-up prize. Well honestly, neither did I, but that's the beauty of running your own blog -- I can do whatever I want on here! If I want to throw up a picture of a tortoise wearing a patriotic hat, I CAN:

If I want to put up a video of a fireworks blowing up at 2,000 frames per second, I CAN (make sure you see the M-80 in the tub of mayonnaise):

(In case you can't tell, I'm pretty psyched about the 4th of July)

So, without further ado, I've narrowed it down to my favorites. Please vote for YOUR favorite on the sidebar:

Ari wrote one that rhymes!:
Thunder thighs, go
Sweat-brimmed eyes, flow
What a rise, man

Ian wrote this minimalist exploration of the haiku form:
Carlos Carlos Car
Carlos Carlos Carlos Car
Carlos Carlos Win

Tad's haiku calls into question the nature of the contest:
Who generated
The Number Generator?
Carlos Alzate.

Cycloid gave us this sponsor-correct haiku:
The pack Felt just wind
Williams a blur at the line
Carlos and Exergy


And finally, Rachel's entry -- sorry to hear about the clavicle:
Go Carlos! Meanwhile
my clavicle breaks - and now
I'm all Exergy!
